Wide passage & protection, fully motorized
- Protects pedestrians from rail traffic @ crossings
- Each operator can move up to 8’ wide gate
- Motor box is powder coated (color = RAL 7042)
- Gate can be existing or provided with operator

Project: Pedestrian Railway Security Gate
@ Scott Ave. Crossing Point, Castleton-on-Hudson, NY
Project Overview & Scope
- Provide secure, automated pedestrian crossing area
- Gate to remain ‘open’ unless rail traffic is signaled
- Provide alert/alarm @ electro-mechanical gate during train pass
- Potentially provide for ‘emergency exit’ alternate path

SLIDE 6
Proposed Solution: Scott Ave. Crossing
- 2 qty. Magnetic MRG Railway Gate Operators on existing gates*
- Gates to face each other ‘saloon door’ style
- Gates open inward (towards tracks/park) to accommodate
emergency exit
- Gate operators are continually powered to remain in ‘open’ state
(allowing pedestrian crossing)
- Gates will ‘close’ (blocking pedestrian traffic across rails) on any
power failure, or when a train signal is received
- Need to work with transit authority to acquire signal input from
transit system
* Depending on size of gates existing

How it works: Pedestrian Gate ‘Open’
DURING “OPEN” STATE:
- Gate is held open under low
power exposing a walkway across tracks via existing pavement path
- ‘Open’ gate position shown in blue
- In this position, it also closes off
an emergency exit @ track side
To Scott Ave. Intersection 7
SLIDE 8
How it works: Pedestrian Gate ‘Closed’
- When a train approaches the
crossing:
- An (optional) audible alert located in
the gate operator’s drive mechanism housing sounds
- Under power, the gate closes to
prevent access across the tracks
- ‘Closed’ gate position shown in blue
- At the same time the emergency exit
pathway opens up
To Scott Ave. Intersection 8
SLIDE 9
Operation of MRG Railway Gate Operator
- Gate operator swings gate ~90 degrees in approx.
5 to 7 seconds
- After train has safely passed:
1. Alert sound stops 2. Gate operator swings gate open (under power) 3. Access across the tracks is now possible 4. Emergency exit is ‘closed’ once gate is fully opened for foot traffic
- If AC power is lost, the gate closes automatically via
its spring assembly
- Automatically reopens upon resumption of power, if train is
not present/passing
